Hello, thank you for your question about Panda.

Sneezing and nasal discharge can be a sign of many possible underlying conditions in dogs. Dogs can have foreign material caught in their nose, allergies/inflammatory rhinitis, masses, or other abnormalities. They can also have viral/bacterial upper respiratory infections. It is possible that the vomiting could be related to this problem or could be another primary problem.

I would recommend having Panda evaluated by your veterinarian. They can perform an examination and evaluate the air flow through Panda's nose and look for discharge or other abnormalities. They can also see if Panda has a fever or abnormal lung sounds. Depending on the findings of their examination they can discuss further diagnostic workup and possible treatments.

Hope this helps, good luck!
